On iPhone or iPad
Put videos in Files → On My iPhone/iPad → Watchly, or use Sources → Import / the document picker to bring files into Watchly.
On Mac
Use Add Local Folder to point Watchly at a folder on disk. Watchly scans titles in place — it doesn’t need to copy everything into the app container.
Let metadata catch up
Clear filenames (Movie Name 2024.mkv) help TMDB matching. Matched titles get posters and shelves on Home.
